Accident Report
I was in a car accident this morning. I’m fine, the young lady in the other car was fine. My car’s currently in the shop awaiting an adjuster tomorrow, I expect it will be declared a total loss based on the damage sustained and age of the car.
Everyone involved has been great, from the officer on the scene in Buffalo Grove to the Farmer’s Insurance folks to the gent at Bestways who towed me 25 miles back home. L has been stellar and supportive as well, which is always nice.
My back and neck hurt from tension and shock, of course; but that’s to be expected. On getting home I was able to grab a burger and hop on a conference call for work before trying to mow the lawn in an attempt to A) get some exercise and B) do something useful. Unfortunately, a winter in the garage has rendered the mower less than compliant.
I suspect my Native American name for the day is “Death to Motors.”
At any rate, there’s an art show to visit tonight and it’s meant to be a nice day tomorrow. I’ve taken it as a vacation day in order to destress and (honestly) because my laptop’s still in the office. Thinking of killing some time with the gaming system now, though I’m a little concerned I might destroy that as well. Superstition for the win!
